Using taxation-and-redistribution to produce behavior that wouldn't otherwise be engaged in by free citizens isn't something THIS conservative/libertarian wants to encourage. My local school district now spends $20,000 per year per student in its socialist indoctrination centers, where nearly all many-child families send their children. This is being paid for with tax revenues confiscated largely from families with few children, who are struggling to pay for private school, or to keep mom out of the workforce to homeschool, and from young professionals who are putting off having any children due the high cost of private school combined with heavy tax bite. Let's not pretend that these large families with kids in public schools "can afford" all these kids -- the only way they "afford" it is by taking other families' money.
